The World's a Theatre, in which each wight
His part doth act, The body to the Sprite
But shadow. Faces differ nothing more
Than do the Souls, which flesh hath cover'd ore.
On wedg'd is to the gain of homestayes; when
Another counts his home a Lazers Denn.
A third man proves so active that he knows
No bounds but his vast pha••fie overflows;
With Alexander he to India flies,
Not it to Conquer, but to please his eyes.

No Sea, no danger, no amazing foe
Gives his brave Emulation overthrow,
Leviathan's a gudgeon; he can vye
With Behemoth, no monster makes him fly.
Hurri'd he is from East, to West, and thence
North, South to compasse earths circumference:
Here picks he up a rarity, anon,
Posts to some new discovered Horizon.
